Going To Colorado For A Subaru 

mike worked for GM for years before coming here.

we love you Mike

Yup, wouldn’t watch it w/o Mike!

Do we all know about dirt Billy Deluxe?

He's a renaissance man!

For us folks in Southern Utah 38°c =100° f. --- So that makes 50°c about 122°f. ---

For the people that are still on imperial measurements 50 degrees Celsius is 122 degrees Fahrenheit. I live in southern Ontario and when the temperature passes 30 degrees. Or 86 we are complaining. Of course that would also be with close to 100% humidity. Love winter I can’t put more clothes on but if I take one layer more off in the summer,the neighbours complain.😀

@@dennispalmer6007 Ha, ha, ha, got it!

Does that recovery service have a youtube channel by chance? I'd love to see it. I do watch out back truckers and really enjoy it. Some of their trips are always an adventure in and of themselves.

ill agree, i remember watching the Irwin family out treking in the truck carrying the small boat, they found remote places to explore there

I have a '78 brat with 3" lift, 14" wheels, weber...It doesn't like rock crawling but loves to rally. Two feet of snow, no problem!

There's a big difference between the old Legacy's and Outback's of the day versus these modern Impreza's. Subaru has gone downhill since 2009 and I wouldn't touch one after that model year. The FB/FA/CB engines are just rubbish.

Some Subarus do just fine off road. The Impreza is not an off road vehicle. That's why they made the Crostrek. They aren't rock crawlers but they can handle that road from the video

@@ABRetroCollections Agreed, Subaru were awesome until they started chasing US sales.

This is a great statement. Subarus in snow on the road are a marvel, in college, I ran mine all over the mountains. They are not 4wd and should not be in Moab.

" .....in your dreams, but not even practical in reality......you will be stuck somewhere, some time, someday! "

The Subaru dealership near me has display rocks out front that they park the new models on (approx. RTI 200), so your comment is valid.

I once test drove a Crosstrek and the salesman was just a joke. They wouldn't budge on the price or the trade in value on my other car but just kept chanting "it's a Subaru" over and over. I didn't buy it.

LOW INCOME CRACK HOUSE BUILDING MATERIALS!!!!

You mean particleboard?

practical board LOL

Partical/Practical? I've seen worse bastardization of the English language 😂

I believe they burned everything (bark, cutoffs, and sawdust) they couldn't turn into a board to sell. I always thought night time was the best time to see them. They did put out a lot of smoke at times.

Isn't that how they made charcoal?

Before MDF and particle board saw mills burn all the particle that was left over from making lumber

Yep, beehive burner. They were a fairly common sight at old defunct small scale wood lots and mill sites growing up in the PNW in the 1970’s.

On the west coast they were called wigwam burners. Burned sawmill waste. They were quite a sight at night when they were burning. Huge screen Dome goes on top.

Coke Ovens.

The smooth dirt road was mostly fine for Mike's incision, but when they got to bumpy, rocky part of the road he had some discomfort. Justin's editing removes "behind the scenes vocabulary" but still is doing a great job of cut and paste. Mike probably leaves the camera on depending on battery life, and that gives Justin a lot of footage to pick from and we get to see what they produce. Maybe Rory's ol' Lady does some editing too, she may like our comments and that is where the red hearts come from.

We had one in the Jemez mountains in NM off of Gillman Road, East of State Road 4. You can still drive through the rock tunnel to get there. Couple more in logging/lumber processing factories. It was great as a little kid 65 years ago to go to the "mountain lumber yard and buy timbers, thick beams and other rough sawn wood" It was cheap too!

Smunched: portemantout word conveying all the devastation of smooshed, together with a light seasoning of smashed, and all the tumultuous finality, rending and grinding of crunched. Rory said it with far more economy but no less meaning, the man's a poet.

Pretty freaking good stuff

Just north of Jenson.

One place on the cliffs you can look down on that one. The two colors of water stay separate for a half mile or so, depending on the time of year.

That Orange Chicken is pretty awesome. I like the crunchy Beijing Beef, too.

I was appreciating that big block sound as well. I have a Ford F600 with the 370, I like hearing that thing talk when I’m hauling logs, lumber and ties.

I have a '78 brat with 3" lift, 14" wheels, weber... It doesn't like rock crawling much but loves to rally. Two feet of snow, no problem.

@@davepurce5883I had a 78 Brat silver with shell roll bar and push bar up front , loved going in Sand dunes pismo beach and surf trip to San Felipe mexico

Pretty much EVERY new vehicle is rubbish!!!! Even if I could afford a new vehicle, which I can't, I would not buy one of these electronic pieces of garbage. If they would just have left the electronic engine controls in place, (they have worked well for years), and leave everything else manual, it would be perfect. I can put a transmission in gear. It is not hard. I can apply the parking brake, that is not hard either! Waaaaaay to many NANNY controls on the new vehicles. I can also pull/push a lever to engage the transfer case. My 09 Dodge has a button that you turn to engage the transfer case, and I hate it. What happens if I am out on a nasty/ snowy/ muddy/ flooded, road at night, and I desperately need the front wheels pulling, and the bloody button does not work? That could very well be life threatening!!! If I have the need for a different pickup because mine is wrecked, I would buy and older manually operated pickup, and I would just rebuild everything. I am fortunate because I know how to do that.

Rust typically killed them way before anything mechanical

Cool out of state trip, thanks for the video!

Thank you!!!

We love you Shawn❤

Yes, that model is probably great in 5" of snow or on smooth gravel, but on those tracks you need something a bit more "John Wayne is big leggy".

I could see an Outback on this road, but not what they had

Good thing there aren't any rocks almost double 5" in moab

I came to say exactly that. We’re a 4 Subaru Family, but none of us would ever consider driving one of the Imprezas, or probably even the newer Outback on those roads. My older stick shift Crosstrek? I’d be damned tempted. 😉

That is the perfect carbecause that is the car they had with them. Optimism was high and daylight was a’burning. I guess they could have stayed home and watched more RU-vid and never even tried. Yet what use is that? Now they know ONE of their new Subarus limits and are better for it. and upward….full speed ahead!

LOL

So that's where they get the name! Interesting.

😂🤣😂 Just what I was thinking Apollo 0000

This model is absolutely not marketed as an off-road vehicle.

AWD is actually the true definition of 4 wheel drive... all 4 tires are driving.

@@Eric-gi9kg😂

depends which subaru your in . i've owned subarus that would have easily coped with that track but as i said in another comment ,any car with a front air dam shouldn't be off road, unless specifically designed to do so.

Moab is the closest city to the mountains where they are recovering the car. Moab is in the southeast corner of Utah, near the Colorado border.

@@tallpaulsynd If it was in the SE corner that would be where the "4" corners come together. Farmington, New Mexico is on the Southeast, Colorado on the Northeast, Utah on the Northwest and Arizona on the Southwest. Moab is a wee bit South of the middle of Utah. Bet Rory has a scenic drive round trip to Grand Junction, Desert to Mountainous. Howlin' Wolf could move to near Moab but then he'd complain of the Heat. He doesn't like the frigid Winters, I concur, me neither.

@@scuss2 Moab is north of four corners as you stated. He noted that the customer was in Naturita and commented when they passed LaSal. That means they were on Utah 46 that turns into Colorado 90 when it crosses the border between Utah and Colorado. This road takes off from Utah Highway 191 about halfway between Moab and Monticello. Those are the two closest cities to this area.

I love mine in the Canadian prairie winter on ice and light snow ( not the deep drifts though)

Those two rivers, most of the gold came down the San Miguel, but it started to drop out as it reached the slower waters of the Dolores. There were some successful placer mines in that area a century ago, one small one now.
